“These days, one of the tasks with which orchestras find themselves saddled is the nearly impossible one of educating audiences. Schools aren’t doing it, and neither are most parents. Orchestra musicians themselves may resent the kind of musical spoon-feeding they are called on to do by the organization for which they work. But even many of them realize that it’s a question of self-preservation; for better or worse, you don’t have to wait for Aunt Buffy to will you her orchestra subscription to get a seat at the Academy of Music.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
